I Muvrini was formed in the early 1980s by the brothers Jean-Francois Bernardini and Alain Bernardini who were born in the village of Tagliu-Isulacciu in the north of Corsica. They are named after a type of wild sheep which live in the mountains of Corsica.
The Bernardini brothers were introduced to traditional Corsican music at an early age by their father, Ghjuliu, who was a well known poet and singer. They recorded their first single with their father in collaboration with the group Canta u Populu Corsu. Ghjuliu Bernardini died in December 1977 and I Muvrini's first album, I Muvrini ... ti ringrazianu, which was released in 1979, was dedicated to their father's memory.
In 2000, I Muvrini joined up with Sting to record the their most famous song, "Terre d'Oru" (English: Fields of Gold).
Throughout their career they have promoted the Corsican language and culture.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
E madre universale
Per cui favor si sale
Al paradisu
Voi siete gioia e risu
Di tutti i scunsulati
Di tutti i tribulati
Gradite ed ascultate
O vergine maria
Dolce clemente e pia
Gli affetti nostri
The song "Diu vi salvi Regina" by I Muvrini is a hymn dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The lyrics express a deep sense of devotion and gratitude toward the Mother of God, who is considered the universal mother and the only hope for those who are suffering and in distress. The first stanza starts by addressing the Virgin Mary as the "Queen who saves us" and the "universal mother" who brings favors that lead to paradise. This recognition of her power and role in salvation is meant to inspire trust and faith in her intercession.
The second stanza continues by describing the Virgin Mary as the source of joy and comfort for all the afflicted and troubled. She represents a beacon of hope in difficult times and a sure way to find relief and peace. The lyrics also express the genuine affection and tenderness that the faithful have for her, asking her to accept and listen to their supplications. The use of the term "unica speme" (only hope) emphasizes the centrality of Mary in the Christian faith and the importance of her role as a mediator between God and humanity.
Overall, "Diu vi salvi Regina" is a deeply spiritual and emotional song that reflects the Catholic tradition of venerating the Virgin Mary as a loving and merciful mother.

Diu Vi Salvi Regina
E madre universale
Per cui favor si sale
Al paradisu
Voisiete gioa e risu
Di tutti i scunsulati
Di tutti i tribulatti
Unica speme
A voi sospira e geme
Il nosru afflitu core
In un mar di dolore
E d'amorezza
Maria mar de dolcezza
I vostri occhi pietosi
Materni e amorosi
A noi volgete
Noi miseri accogliete
Nel vostru santu velu
Il vostru figliu in celu
A noi mostrate
Gradite ed ascultate
O vergine maria
Dolce e clemente e pia
Gli affleti nostri accogliete
Voi da neminici nostri
A noi date vitoria
E poi l'eterna gloria
In paradisu
